"......"

　　 Fortunately, I just supported the tree, otherwise I might fall down.

"Although it’s a bit too much to talk about business, it’s a bit too much. I know it will be expensive, but it shouldn’t be so expensive. Do you know what you can buy for 10,000 pounds? Even in Nolan, A large manor with a farm and a horse farm is probably only for this price. It is cheaper, and we are considered acquaintances."

　　 This is already an astronomical figure. Chocolate and Jenkins are worth about the same. Even in the upper class, only a few families can come up with so much cash at once.

　　 "But to restore the ceremony, the cost is really not cheap. We are not businessmen, and I don't say anything about cost prices. But you have to be clear, the whole Nolan, the only one who can help you is me."

　　 The words are full of confidence, and Jenkins doesn't think he can find other people.

　　 "Is it worth it?"

　　 he asked himself.

　　 "After all, I just want to contact friends outside. Although the letter is slower, it is not impossible to communicate."

　　 There is already a faint reluctance in his heart.

　　 "After I came into this world, the scope of my activities has been limited to Nolan. It is also a good thing to expand my vision."

　　 The balance in his heart swayed again.

　　 "But I don't have so much money..."

　　 He thought again, looking down at the grass under his feet. The grass leaves are withered and drooping, and I think it won't last a few days.

　　 He tangled back and forth, and the Miss Magic who was standing under the tree didn't bother, just watching the man lower her head and thinking quietly.

　　The cat opened its small mouth boredly and yawned. The tail swayed slightly, and the pupils of his eyes tightened and looked towards the future. Then, when no one noticed, he clicked on the back of Jenkins's head. It is very sleepy and wants to sleep.

　　 "One thousand!"

　　 "Twenty thousand!"

　　 Jenkins looked at the woman opposite, knowing that this time he was talking about the price, he had met his opponent. Before he changed his words again, the woman spoke first.

　　 "Huh~, Mr. Candle, we are not shopping at the vegetable market in the country, but please show our dignity as a gifter. Nine thousand."

　　 Jenkins curled his lips, Jenkins Williams’ dignity is worth some price, but Mr. Candle’s dignity is not as good as a piece of white cat vanilla.

　　 "Make one more step, I am not a rich man, two thousand pounds."

"Mr. Candle, based on our few exchanges, I think it is impossible for a gifted person like you who is powerful, mysterious, and unobstructed to be short of gold pounds. And can feed a real magical creature, such a person. How is it possible to be short of money? I always have to make some money. The restoration ceremony requires a lot of preparations. I need cash to purchase materials...8,500 pounds."

　　PS: Add changes at the end of the month, ask for recommended tickets, ask for monthly tickets, ask for blades, ask for rewards.

Section 271 Chapter 267 Price and Ashes and Wardrobe

　　 "The purchase of materials is your business, and I really don't have that much money. Two thousand."

　　 Jenkins opened his hands and didn't want to explain, in fact, he didn't eat much chocolate.

Miss Magic did not immediately object, but stopped for a while, and then asked again: "Every time I only increase a thousand pounds? You know, I didn't make much money in such a transaction. If you have a little bit of common sense, you should understand and restore one. Unknown rituals require a lot of trial and preparation. One attempt may waste thousands or hundreds of pounds of materials. Since you want to make this business, please show your sincerity."

　　 Jenkins's mouth was shaking, and he felt that he might not need to look for investment channels anymore. I hope Miss Miller's knowledge and friendship are worthy of such a large expense.

　　 "Five thousand~"

　　 His voice was shaking. There have been no major expenditures recently. It is just that the supplementary materials have spent dozens of pounds in the church. Because of the completion of Constantine’s mission, the church has paid him a sum of money as a reward in advance after finishing the meat of the castle. Around 500 pounds. Coupled with the usual income and his own savings, the amount that can be obtained is about 8,000 pounds. According to his understanding, Miss Magic's asking price is actually not high.

　　 "Not enough, add some more."

　　 has a firm tone, but in fact the woman wants to laugh:

　　 "Mysterious Mr. Candle, because Qiancai makes such an expression."

　　 If Jenkins knew what she thought, he would definitely tell her that even a living pseudo-god would need gold pounds to survive.

　　 "Eight thousand."

　　Miss Magic quoted the final price, "Eight thousand pounds, I want cash. This is the preferential price given because of the face of the two of us."

　　 "Seven thousand."

　　 "Eight thousand."

　　 "Seven thousand."

　　 "Eight thousand."

　　 Jenkins stopped talking, saying goodbye to the lavish days in his heart.

　　 "How long will it take you to finish."

　　 "One week, at least one week. I will give you an address. If a code appears there, it means I'm done."

　　 Her tone was smiling, and she was not sure if she was happy to make a big business.

　　 Jenkins was depressed and gave her a paper bag containing 1,000 pounds as a deposit. Miss Magic reached out to take it, tugged and found that there was no tugging, so she snatched it over.

　　 She slapped her lips, carefully counted the banknotes in her hand with a skillful technique, and made a slurping sound. While counting, he sighed quietly: "I didn't expect that I would have such luck. I thought I wouldn't get anything tonight."

　　 The last time she faced A-01-2-2221, the unfortunate tree of wishing, she made a wish, so her luck will deteriorate for a period of time.

　　The so-called deposit, under normal circumstances, only requires 10 to 30% of the total amount. After all, no one can say that a stranger who does not know his true identity is completely assured.

　　 "Everyone is about the same, very cautious."

　　 With these in mind, he thinks this transaction was a success.

　　 Although only six people participated in the gathering organized by Mr. Hood, they all have some precious things in their hands. Mr. Hood no longer tried to buy the holy water he needed, instead he needed a material called the tail hair of the three holy deer.

　　 Mr. Black Cat happened to have, and the transaction between the two was carried out in front of everyone. The price of the handful of colored hair that can shine by itself was 30 pounds.

　　 Jenkins guessed that this is the material needed for the learning ceremony of a certain ability, otherwise Mr. Hood would not be so decisive when he paid the money, but would be entangled like Jenkins just now.

　　 Save others by oneself, Jenkins feels that he is right.

　　 Sometimes the purchase of materials requires luck. The silver clover, which was very common, was not carried by anyone this time, but Miss Magic did not expect to be able to buy it, but just casually mentioned "the ashes of the illegal longevity". Mr. White Cat actually happened to have a bottle.

　　 This is the ashes of people who have lived to be at least 150 years old by special means, so they are ridiculed as "illegal longevity". There are very few rituals or special items that can extend life, otherwise Constantine would not take the risk. Therefore, this kind of material is extremely rare, and it can be said that Miss Magic has good luck.

　　 "Huh? Doesn't the wishing tree bring bad luck?"

　　 Jenkins felt a little puzzled. He was also troubled by bad luck. It would be great if he could get a cheap transfer method from others.

　　 Mr. White Cat also brought surprises to everyone, and he was willing to take a special approach to holding a ceremony. Through this kind of ritual, a week-long effect can be added to glasses or similar things, giving them the ability to see through ordinary objects with a thickness of up to 3.5 inches (approximately 8.89 cm).

　　 "This thickness is enough to see through any human being and directly see if there is any murder weapon on him."

　　 Jenkins thought about it carefully. Although his [True Eye] could see the aura through the clothes, he could not find ordinary knives, pistols or other murder weapons. But Mr. White Cat’s offer was too high, and in the end only Hathaway was willing to pay.

　　 There were no more accidents at this gathering. The six people had booked a way to inform the next gathering time, and they all dispersed.

　　 Jenkins deliberately chose the direction opposite to Hathaway’s departure. After everyone left the field of vision, he immediately pulled up his legs and ran. All the way down the mountain, bent down and ran in the wilderness, then climbed over the low walls of the slums and entered the city, avoiding the intimate young people in the alleys, the suspicious middle-aged people who gathered together and the patrolmen on the road, finally Before Hathaway returned to her residence on the bank of the river.

　　Climbed up the tree, let the chocolate jump on the window sill, rubbed the window with the cat's claw laboriously, and then jumped back to the bedroom.

　　 first walked to the door, gently turned the cold metal handle, it was still locked.

　　 Jenkins breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the window and drew the curtains, and then wanted to take out his belongings in the closet and restore the indoor situation to the way Hathaway left.

　　 But as soon as I opened the door of the closet, I heard the voice of two women speaking from the door:

　　 "Miss Mikhail, the lady really said that no one can enter her bedroom until she comes back. Oh, I can't come to the second floor!"

　　 The voice was panicked and at a loss. Jenkins had not heard such a voice. It should be the servant in the house.

　　 "You should know who I am. When you return to your job, Hathaway will never hide anything from me."

　　 The handle of the door was turned a few times without opening it of course, and then the sound of the key hitting the keyhole could be heard.

　　 "Oops! Miss Mihail has the key to the room!"

Chapter 272 Chapter 268 The Man in the Closet

　　 Jenkins turned his head violently, and included the slightly dim room in his field of vision because the gas lamp was not turned on:

　　 "The bottom of the bed is too narrow, the sound of opening the window will arouse suspicion, the underside of the table is not strong enough to hide, hide in the blanket unless I am crazy!"

　　 He grabbed the cat who was trying to jump on the bed, then bent down and got into the closet, closing the closet door when the door opened to a gap.

　　 It darkened immediately, and there was a strange smell in the closet, but now Jenkins's attention is mainly auditory, and he can hear the sound of footsteps outside.

　　 moved some positions carefully, through the gap in the closet door, Jenkins widened his right eye and looked outside.

　　 The visitor was Brian Michal. She pouted and walked into the bedroom with an unhappy expression, looked around, and walked to the window to open the fabric lace curtains that Jenkins had just pulled.

　　 Opened the window and looked at the Westminster River in the dark night in the distance. After a moment, he closed the window with a clatter, and then sat down on the soft bed.

　　 Tonight she is wearing a blue and white one-piece dress with tight waistband and loose rest. Due to the angle, Jenkins couldn't see what she was doing at the moment, and could only hear the sound of the maid delivering refreshments a few minutes later.

　　 You can't see chocolate in the dark, but it keeps lingering in Jenkins' arms, very dissatisfied with the current environment. But the cat is very good and didn't make a sound, otherwise things tonight will be pushed to the unimaginable point.

　　 Jenkins can only think of that kind of picture in the development of second-rate novels. He absolutely does not want this kind of thing to happen in reality.

　　 In the single women's room at night, the man hides in the closet, and the visiting lover sits on the bed. This scene seems to have been able to be written in the so-called knight novel. But Jenkins is not a writer of that kind of subject matter, he is a pure fairy tale writer!

Hathaway also came back twenty minutes later. Perhaps when she was downstairs, the maid had already informed her of what had happened here, so after the lady stepped upstairs, she expertly hugged another lady. Did not show the slightest strangeness.

　　 But Jenkins always felt that Hathaway glanced at the closet intentionally or unintentionally, and she guessed where Jenkins was.

　　 "What the **** is going on!"

　　 The man is surrounded by women’s clothes, and he feels very dissatisfied with the unlucky situation in his heart: "I have only heard that a woman who has cheated on let her lover hide in the closet. How can I encounter this kind of thing?"

　　 The ladies outside the closet had closed the door of the bedroom, and then they talked in low voices, followed by a chuckle of laughter.

　　 Jenkins tried to hear what was happening outside, but their voices were too small.

　　 A few minutes later, in the voice of Xi Xisuo Suo, the half-shouldered Hathaway was thrown onto the bed, and then Miss Mihaier Hai also rushed over.

　　 "Gudong~"

　　 He swallowed, his eyes rounded open, and he tried to look outside through the gap. Although doing it here is ethical, but Jenkins is an adult male...

　　 But the ladies who hugged together didn't move anymore. Hathaway blushed and said something in the ear of Miss Mihail, and then the two blushing faces barefoot and left here with high heels.

　　 Before leaving, the red-haired lady was waved vigorously in the direction of the window with her left hand behind her. Jenkins immediately understood what she meant. After the door was deliberately closed by the woman, he immediately walked out of the closet carrying his own things, tiptoedly holding the cat and came to the window. Seeing that there was no one outside, he jumped to the door. On the side of the tree, and then quickly left the courtyard.

　　 ran all the way to the dim street corner, from a place where Hathaway's residence was absolutely invisible, he dared to hold his knees and gasp.

　　 I don't know if it was in the closet, or running too fast, or the content of the glimpse just now remained in my mind.

　　 "Damn it, calm down!"

　　 He pinched himself severely before finally calming down.

　　 The night is already very deep, and the dark streets are empty. Jenkins exhaled fiercely, then sealed the matter in his mind, picked up the sleepy cat, carrying his bag of things, and quickly walked into the alley.

　　 For him, the picture just now was a bit too exciting. At the same time, seeing the scene of the two ladies hugging each other, he actually felt...well, jealous.

　　 "Don't go crazy, Jenkins."

　　 He said this to himself, determined to avoid such things in the future.

　　 There was no strange thing on the road, and he returned to his home on St. George Street in such a safe way. This surprised Jenkins, who was accustomed to accidents and more accidents.

　　 He is not in the mood to do other things tonight, even if he slept for a long time in the afternoon, but the large amount of exercise at night is still exhausting.

　　 "A crazy day."

　　 He closed his eyes and thought, and soon fell asleep, and then ushered in an even more exhausting dream.

　　 The next day was Sunday. After waking up, Jenkins looked straight at the ceiling, recalling the shameful dream of last night in his heart.

　　 Through the window, I can see the bright sky and the early morning fog. I woke up too early today, and it is not six o'clock.

　　 There is no sleepiness, in order to prevent himself from continuing to think about it, Jenkins is fortunate to get up early. The chocolate was still falling asleep, and Jenkins didn't bother it.

　　 took a wash in the bathroom, and just saw the milkman turning the street from the second floor. He walked downstairs in pajamas and slippers, talked with the young man, and then walked back to the kitchen with the milk bottle.

　　 The weather is already very cold, the milk delivered is very cold, it needs to be heated before drinking, otherwise the cat may eat it.

　　 The deliveryman also came ten minutes later. This is a middle-aged man in the uniform of the post office. According to the neighbor Mrs. Goodman, he has been responsible for the delivery of newspapers in this block since five years ago. This dark-skinned, vicissitudes-looking man is also familiar with Jenkins, because the letters sent to him are the most in this area, and those are letters from enthusiastic readers.

　　 There is no important news in the newspapers. In the eyes of ordinary people, Nolan City now faces the most serious problems in winter heating, steam pipe renovation and changes in vegetable prices. Xu Shi, the editor of the newspaper, also felt that this issue of the daily newspaper was too boring, so he actually used a lot of space to report the serial murder in Passival, Derbyshire.

Nolan City does not belong to any county. Although its area is small, its population and economy are comparable to any county in the south. Coupled with an extremely important military position, the mayor of Nolan City is directly responsible to the Parliament and the royal family. .
